Just Riveting!

Any additional comments?

This is my first adventure with author Christine Pope. Dragon Rose is written in first person which is a difficult voice to write. Valerie Gilbert, as narrator, was a great choice for she truly conveyed the emotional upheaval Rhianne experienced when she chose to take the place of her best friend and marry Theran Blackmoor, the dragon of Blacks Keep. Ms. Gilbert is the reason I picked this book to listen to in the first place. She has a great presence and entirely engulfed me in the authors world.

Rhianne was unique. She had two gifts. As a seerer she was haunted with dreams, difficult to forget. She also had a love of nature and the ability to paint, something she learned from an elderly painter and an occupation she should not follow. With this skill she worked through her dreams and fell in love with her painting of the man in her dreams. Little did she know how important this skill would be for her very life!

This tale reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. A mage spell kept Theran in dragon form. He was obliged to marry young girls from the nearby village if he didnt the curse would manifest itself by destroying more lives. Theran was reduced to marrying even though he knew the fate of these young women. 500 years of marrying and still the curse continued. Would there be no end? Could Rhianne save her dragon whom shed come to love? Could she save herself?

Plenty of suspense and danger. The story was riveting, yet very much a fairy tale. Im thoroughly delighted to find another author who writes fantasy with romance inclinations. And writes so well! Recommended highly for those who love fairy tale plots with just enough twist to keep the reader guessing.

Distracting but disappointing

While I loved the idea behind the story, several things hindered my complete enjoyment. most glaringly, the narrator. One chapter would be performed in an echo chamber of a broom closet, her words distorted and alien. If that were not bad enough, her alternating chapters took place in some public space wherein the sounds the traffic dragged me from my escape into this fantasy world. It was most distracting, to say the least and entirely inconsistent.

lastly, the actual story had such build up, such promise before rushing the ending and wrapping things up quickly, though clumsily. I was very disappointed in elements that were never addressed or re visited.

Having enjoyed other books by this author, I can only surmise this was written with a late deadline or with laziness. She is normally such a strong writer and again, I enjoyed the setup and development of the story greatly. It is the resolution, so called, that has left me unhappy.

Cute story, HATE recording

I liked this book. it was cute. reminded me of another book. very beauty and beast themed.

Members Reviews:

Great performance but slow story

What did you love best about Cast in Sorrow?

Hvam is always gives a great performance.

If youve listened to books by Michelle Sagara before, how does this one compare?

This story is slow and focuses on just one event. Many of the previous stories had multiple situations and varied characters.

Which character as performed by Khristine Hvam was your favorite?

All.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Please do not.

Any additional comments?

I am afraid that Michelle has run out of avenues for the story and is just casting about. She has a beautiful writing style but unfortunately nothing to say.

What happened Michelle Sagara?

I loved the first 7 books in this series but started to get a bad feeling as I struggled toward the end of book 8, Cast in Peril. Now, I'm beginning to think something is wrong in Michelle Sagara ' s personal life because book 9, Cast in Sorrow is like wading through mud. It's so bad I don't believe I'll be able to finish the book, let alone the series. What a letdown.

Not as good as the previous books in this series..

i don't know where it went wrong, but this book just didn't have the same effect on me as the others. usually i can't wait for the next one, but if it isn't any better than this one, then don't bother.

it isn't that the writing was bad, or the narration...i can't put my finger on it, but the vibe was wrong. the flow and excitement was just lacking in this one.

still and all, it's a good listen, Khristine Hvam is one of my favorites. i just wish it had the same 'something' as the other books in this series.

Not the best

This was definitely not the best of the series. I fail to see any real growth for Kaylin and am very disappointed in her constant contact and association with Nightshade. He is everything she despises yet she is somewhat attracted to him. Her desire to leave Nightshade and her childhood behind has become more and more wishy washy. Personally, I would like to see Nightshade replaced. Severn is a much more pivotal character and would like to see more character development. Have loved the series and will get the next book. Hopefully, it will track better. D

Full of good info

I have listened to all this series and find it very interesting. If you have never listened to any of these books it is a good idea to listen to Cast in Peril first. I like the lengths of the stories (although it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they were longer). The characters are colorful. Ms. Sagara has created a wonderful world. The narrator does an excellent job.

Publisher's Summary:

Weddings have the strangest effect on people. How else to explain the fact that Sissy Mae Smith woke up in Mitch Shaw's bed the morning after her brother Bobby Ray tied the knot? Or that gunmen are trying to kill Mitch, and Sissy Mae now has to escort a bleeding, stubborn, yet still incredibly sexy lion shifter to her Tennessee Pack's turf to keep him safe? It doesn't help that Mitch's appraising gaze makes her feel like the most desirable creature on earth, or that the ultimate stray cat is suddenly acting all kinds of possessive. Mitch is an undercover cop who's about to testify against some dangerous ex-associates.

Even more worrisome, he's harbouring hot, X-rated fantasies about the fast-talking little canine - and he has to deal with every male in Sissy Mae's Pack sniffing around her in a way that makes his hackles rise. Mitch has his pride, and he intends to show Sissy Mae that when a lion sets out to make you his mate, the only thing to do is purr, roll over, and enjoy one hell of a ride.

Worth Every Fantastic Star!!!

This is another one of my favorite PNR series when I'm looking for good humor and silliness. Yes, it's a bit raunchy and dysfunctional, but it's still a extremely fun read.This book is about Mitch (lion shifter) and Sissy Mae (wolf shifter) - both whom you meet in earlier books. Mitch is an undercover detective about to testify against a big mafia-type badboy. He discovers that an assasin has been hired to take him out. Sissy Mae is a good friend that helps him hide out for awhile. But one thing leads to another and they begin to realize that their feelings for one another run deeper than friendship. I also love the crazy dynamics of both the pack & pride families. The supporting characters are really the best part of the book . . . although the hot sex scenes are quite delicious as well. An fabulous book, I really did love the relationship between Mitch and Sissay. You wont regret reading this series. Mitch is my Fav in the Pride series with his sexiness!!!I wasn't over the top with the first book but it's pertinent to the character& world building to this series. I am soooooo glad I continued on with each book that Audible releases. These books have potential to make you snort, lol, grin goofy, smile, and possibly blush while fanning yourself from Mitch's extreme hotness:)

Extremely Good! Love these Mane Books...

I really like these Mane books... these shifters are just too darn funny. I really like the TN Smith-town shifter clan... since I am originally from TN... I can seriously relate to some of the things Sissy Mae does. It is just hilarious. The smexing is extremely hot in these book. A great credit spent!

Narration was great. Kane does a great job with all the male voice and continues the same voices from all the other books as well, so I recognized other characters just from the voices used... Awesomeness!!

Alright this one Rocks!!

If you could sum up The Mane Attraction in three words, what would they be?

Funny, Brilliant,Captivating

What did you like best about this story?

I loved everything. I have read the book several times before this audio, and although I was disappointed with the first book's reading I am so glad I took another chance!.Excellent job Ms.

Publisher's Summary:

Gryphon: Honorable, loyal, dependable...tainted.

He was the ultimate warrior before imprisonment in the underworld changed him in ways he can't ignore.

She calls to him: "Come to me. You can't resist." But Gryphon will not allow himself to be ruled by the insidious whispers in his head. And there's only one way to stop them: Kill Atalanta, the goddess who enslaved him. But with so much darkness inside, he can't be sure what's real anymore. Even the Eternal Guardians, those who protect the human realms and the gods, want to exile him.

Finding Malea is like a miracle. Somehow he doesn't feel the pull of the dark when she's near. And he's determined to keep her as near as possible, whether she wants him close or not. But she's a temptation that will test every bit of control he has left. One that may ultimately have the power to send him back to the underworld...or free him from his chains for good.

Critic Reviews:

"Naughton's complex setting filled with Greek gods, monsters, heroes, and the machinations of bureaucrats and villains is worth exploring, and series readers will be satisfied by the steamy sex scenes and development of an intriguing world." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

A Hot / Sexy 5 star listen !!

Any additional comments?

This is Gryphon and Malea's love story. Gryphon is a warrior, brother, friend and dependable to the end. He was sent to the Underworld and made sacrifices to save his soul. When he was rescued he was not the same person when he returned. He heard voices, was psychotic and unpredictable. He found an escape with someone he didn't he didn't know, just that she could help him get out to find what he was looking for. Things changed when he was near her, the voices were not so loud, he could think more clearly, he was in control again. **This book is another outstanding listen. Fulled with passion. loyalty, love and Hot Hot Sex that that sent shivers down my spine! I so hope there are many more books to come in this awesome series, they are truly fabulous....

Salvation for Gryphon, home for Maelea

I liked this one. Gryphon was really messed up by the games played for power by Hades, Atlanta and Cronus. Even though Orpheus and the Argonauts had rescued him, Gryphon was still being mentally tormented by the perversions he acquiesced to just to keep from remaining in the underworld. Plus, Cronus bound Gryphon and Atlanta together so she kept calling him in his head.

*constantly hearing "Doolas" on the audio was driving me insane, so I can only sympathize with Gryph*. The narrator certainly made it grate my nerves.

Gryphon decides to leave the halfbreed colony before Nick kicked him out and he ran into another escapee, Maelea. He decided to use her as bait/ransom, so he took her as a hostage. During this journey Gryph discovered that Maelea's closeness drowned out Atlanta. In fact, her light soothed the darkness within him and soon he began to crave her touch.

How can a damaged, fallen hero like him attract the daughter of Zeus and Persephone? How could he deserve something so good when he had done some terrible things and may not even be stable? Maelea herself may not need convince as she sees the hero in Gryphon and may give up her personal quest to get to her father's realm--Olympus.

This series still needs work but I am still enjoying it.

Members Reviews:

Lovely Highland Adventure

This book is a well written Highland Adventure! It is a heartfelt story with interesting and well developed characters. From the start I was transferred into the world of Meg and Caden. With all the twists and turns I had trouble putting it down.

I really didnt have an issue with the narrator. I am of Scottish decent and I have relatives who were born in Scotland. I know first hand how a Scottish accent should sound and this narrator didnt do a bad job. No, it wasn't perfect....but it wasn't horrible either. Everyone has their preferences of course but I got through the book without feeling verbally tortured at all.

I will definitely listen to the next book.

People are too hard on the narrator...

Would you listen to Captured Heart again? Why?

Yes, it had a good story. Some highland romances make the female protagonist too naive. This book had a good balance.

Any additional comments?

I think that the people complaining about the narrator were too harsh. Yes, I've heard better narration for highlander men, however she didn't make the book unbearable to listen to. Her male voices improved as the book progressed, with a few slip-ups along the way. I've listened to many books narrated by women that I couldn't finish. Male narrators are my preference, but I still would listen to more books in this series if they kept this narrator.

Magical family bonds and a sweet romance

This was a great story....even though it was a great HEA....it had a compelling storyline that made me care about most of the characters in the book....even many secondary characters. I highly recommend this book...great story....plot twists....sexy highlanders....sweet romance.....family bonds......magic (just a little). Definitely credit worthy......but I was lucky to find it in a special 3 for 2 sale.

this book has it all

Excitement, intrigue,action, romance and more. The narrator was great and the story was great, I didn't want it to end. I wish there was a book 2

Riveting

Good story. I only notice one discrepancy when someone lost "pounds" of weight. The story kept my interest.

Members Reviews:

you will get hooked...

I've listened this whole series and I really enjoy it kind of like a soap opera. I really like parish for some reason i find him funny. The series is entertaining i wish the books were a little longer but i enjoy the series. If you like molly harper you will like this book as well I had to check and see if this is a pen name of hers. Don't let the not so good reviews sway you from this series if you like nice girls series you will love this as well.

Installment number two and twice as good.

I was forced to give the first story in this series a scathing, for me, review on audible because of production issues. The audio quality of the first book is bellow sub-par. I loved the narrator so much and was intrigued by the story I decided to go ahead with the second book and I am so glad I did. There were no productions issues. The narration was superb, Ms. Ronconi does such a good job giving each character their own voice, it is really so pleasant to listen to her.

The plot of this book was more developed and engaging than the first book. I also thought it was funnier than the first. Sebastian and Garnet continue to develop and define their relationship, although some of this seemed out of character to me. Garnet makes strides to reconcile with her past and identity. The secondary character that I found quite endearing are back, for the most part. My biggest problem with the story is that sometimes it seems abridged although it claims not to be. There would be phrases that sounded like they were referring something that happened earlier in the novel, except I don't think it did. This happened several times. Maybe these are things that will be addressed in forthcoming books in the series but they were mundane enough to not seem likely.

better in some ways / worse in some ways

I enjoyed the banter back and forth on this one more. I enjoyed the development of the story. The fact that it dealt with zombies, didn't overly amuse me ( I am not one for this whole zombie apocalypse deal) But it was still a good story. I got a little tired of how whiny and dense the main character was in this one, it was starting to get annoying. I am hoping as we go on in the story she will become less so.

If you are coming to these books from Molly Harper's books you will find them slightly disappointing, but they are a decent follow up, they just don't quite reach that level. Amanda Ronconi however is as excellent of a narrator in these as she is in Harper's and she does the voices differently so you don't feel you are listening to Jane while listening to these

Not too exciting

I wasn't expecting Shakespeare, but the plot left a lot to be desired. I couldn't bring myself to care about the Zombies and the ending got wrapped up way too easily.

Publisher's Summary:

Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria Todd, it's the last safe haven. But at what price? Blade is known as the master of the rookeries - no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single-handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood craving he's been quicker, stronger, almost immortal. When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel - or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.

Members Reviews:

Unexpected delight

What did you love best about Kiss of Steel?

I purchased this audiobook as part of a 3 for 2 paranormal sale and needed a third title. I didn't know what to expect and I wasn't familiar with the author, Bec McMaster, or this series, but I am glad I picked it! Part historical romance, part paranormal romance, with the tiniest splash of steam punk thrown in, Kiss of Steel had me hooked within the first fifteen minutes. The narration was great, the sex scenes were erotic without being cheesy, and the author's take on vampires was interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

I think Alison Larkin's narration made this book for me. She sounds like she could have been reading Jane Austen, but instead she was narrating explicit paranormal sex scenes set in Victorian London.

What does Alison Larkin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I don't know if I would have been able to get into reading the book like I got into listening to it. The author jumped right into her "London Steampunk" world with very little explanation. It was a bit difficult to figure out the mythology and terminology at first, but the narration kept the story interesting enough to stick with it.

Any additional comments?

First, the steampunk elements are more of an afterthought, so if that's what you're looking for, then this isn't your book. Second, the romance is apparent from the beginning, but there is a long build-up to first sex scene so, again, if that's what you're looking for... (having said that, the sex is fairly steady for the last half of the book). Last, while I loved Alison Larkin's narration in general, there were times that her voice for Blade bordered on cartoonish and that was a little bit distracting. Luckily, the author relies on descriptive narration more than dialogue, so this was only rarely an issue for me.

Good paranormal mystery, romance balance

This story is a romance but most certainly not highly sexual., at least not highly in the sense of how much sex occurs in the story. There is kissing, a small amount, but the first sex act doesnt' occur until about halfway through the 11+ hour story. And that first act was just "stimulation" of Honoria. Then the second sex act doesn't occur until there's about 2.5 hours left in the story. It was the first act of intercourse. After that one, intercourse occurred again. But the story was nearing the end. Admittedly, there is a bit of sensual detail during these 3 sex acts; they weren't brief but also not drawn out.

Amazing - one of the best in the series

What did you love best about The Sleeping Beauty?

After reading and listening to many of Mercedes Lackey's books, I decided to try the Five Hundred Kingdom's series. I have listened to all but one and after the first "Fairy Godmother" this was by far the best. It had all of the great elements of a hero, princess, and villain, but nothing was quite as it seemed or too cookie cutter. I sat in my car for the last hour and a half to hear the whole story wrap up since I couldn't wait until my next commute. Definitely worth the time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Siegfried - he lives by trying to do what is right and not always what is easy.

What about Gabra Zackmans performance did you like?

She just has a soothing voice that lets you escape into the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked when the godmother gets her man too.

Any additional comments?

Wonderful - now on to the next book in the series :)

Not the same as the actual book

I'm rather disappointed in this version of the story. I've read the actual book. There are whole scenes missing in this audio book. And some of those scenes are fairly important. If you haven't read the actual book I wouldn't recommend this at all.

I mean the story is fine and can be followed even with the missing pieces but it doesn't flow as well as the original and there are some strange time gaps.

I'm disappointed.

*My favorite Mercedes Lackey, perfect narration*

This book completely captured my imagination and attention, as narrated by Gabra Zackman. I read the paperback copy of this a few years back, but listening to it through Audible was a whole new experience. Not only is it my favorite in the Five Hundred Kingdoms story, it is probably now my favorite of all Mercedes Lackey very large body of work. The narration is superb...akin to Jim Dale reading Harry Potter and Ralph Cosham as Inspector Gamache in Louise Penny's novels. The best of Mercedes Lackey is reflected in this novel, with superb plotting and highly compelling character development. Some books are better candidates than others for listening to, and this is in the very top echelon for a recorded listening experience. Outstanding!!!!

The eldest daughter is often doomed in fairy tales. But Bella - Isabella Beauchamps, daughter of a wealthy merchant - vows to escape the usual pitfalls.

Anxious to avoid the traditional path, Bella dons a red cloak and ventures into the forbidden forest to consult with "Granny," the local wisewoman.

But on the way home she's attacked by a wolf - who turns out to be a cursed nobleman! Secluded in his castle, Bella is torn between her family and this strange man who creates marvelous inventions and makes her laugh - when he isn't howling at the moon.

Breaking spells is never easy. But a determined beauty, a wizard (after all, he's only an occasional werewolf) and a little godmotherly interference might just be able to bring about a happy ending.

Members Reviews:

A good read for lovers of fantasy . . . .

Book 1, 5 and 6 are the best of this series to date.

The villain is pretty easy to pick out from the get go but aside from that the story still holds the readers interest with good character and world building.

If you were expecting to read a copy of Red Riding Hood you have the wrong book. The story does however doe include a female lead, Isabella who wears a red cloak, a "Granny", a wise old woman, who she visits who lives in the woods out side town, a game keeper and well a were wolf and even a step mother and step sisters thrown into the mix along with sorcerers, invisible servants, curses, spells and well i guess you need to read it to find out how all this comes together and of course the romance and life threatening encounters . . .

It's a good read and well worth adding to your library

Mercedes Lackey dropped the ball a bit after the first book but picked it up again with books 5 and 6

although each story is separate in its own right characters do appear from previous books but in the main aside from the godmother Elena and her household non of the previous books main chracters are a common thread though out this series.

Unlike the Tradition . . .

I would recommend this book and series bearing in mind the above comments on some of the books in the series which don't match up to the quality of books 1, 5 and 6 but are still readable.

Comments made above are obviously a reflection of my current taste and opinions.

Book 6 and maybe the best in series

This is the 6th book in the series and I think perhaps my favorite one. The story didn't start slowly like many of the others have and while it was apparent the whole time the answer to the difficulty in the story etc, it was still a fun read. Excellent brain candy and a wonderful narrator.

I love Mercedes lacky!

such an amazing book, really pulled me in, I love how light hearted and classical it was

bit slow

I felt that it was a bit slow over all. Then the jump from "I don't know what I feel" to "I love you and won't live without you" was a bit rushed and forced. Overall a good book but not the best in the series by far.

unsatisfying.

I had heard this was one of the better ones in the series, but I disagree. the story kept pushing the girl away from the beast and towards the huntsman, but then it would harshly snap back to the beast by explaining why the huntsman was awful. the huntsman was a much more developed character than the beast, who didn't do ANYTHING the entire book except mope.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.

The narrator Traci Odom did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didnt want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Story is good, narration, meh

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Maybe. It would depend on the friend and their tastes. It's a little flightly and the narration is just ok.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jade. Her voice and strength are the best part of her.

What didnt you like about Traci Odoms performance?

I hate her voice for Leila. It is very irritating. But maybe that was the way she meant it to be. It's a little hard to take her seriously when her voice is so flighty and grating.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I'm pretty sure that I would not.

Any additional comments?

I hope the next book is better. Time to change narrators.

Demons and Angels

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This review is for both the ebook and the audiobook because I have both and read parts and listened to part. This is my favorite book in this series so far now. Things were really intense all the way through. I had gut wrenching sorrow and anger at Mary.
